Book description
Gabriele is an actress who, as her career approaches its end, takes a trip to the city where she spent her adolescence. Her sudden visit awakens something unexpected in two of her friends, who see in her an escape from their grey, monotonous days. Through her friends, the actress sees the life she could have had. The burden of fame has been pursuing her for forty years, and only one thing is evident: this trip awakens passions and changes the lives of everyone she visits.

“What Núria Añó gives us in this book is a piece of real life, dissected with the razor-sharp scalpel of her writing. This work contains great use of language and style. The novel is not easy, either its subject or its style, but it is very interesting and, in my opinion, is one of the great promises of contemporary Catalan writing.” –magazine on literary and comparative literature studies, L'Ull crític, No. 15-16.
Gabriele ist eine Schauspielerin, die, als das Ende ihrer Karriere naht, wieder die Stadt aufsucht, in der sie ihre Jugend verbracht hat. Ihr unerwarteter Besuch trifft zwei ihrer alten Freundinnen unvorbereitet, sie betrachten ihn als eine Art Flucht aus ihren grauen, eintönigen Tagen. Die Schauspielerin selbst kann anhand ihrer Leben auf jenes schließen, das sie selbst erwartet hätte. Auf der anderen Seite war ihr der Ruhm vierzig Jahre lang eine Last, und nur eines ist offensichtlich: Die Reise hat alte Leidenschaften wiedererweckt und das Leben aller verändert, die Gabriele wiedergesehen hat.

“Was uns Núria Añó in ihrem Buch beschreibt, ist ein Stück wirkliches Leben, das sie mit dem feinen Skalpell ihrer Erzählung seziert. In dem Werk steckt eine große Arbeit hinsichtlich Sprache und Stil. Die Novelle ist nicht einfach, weder thematisch, noch stilistisch, aber sehr interessant. Sie stellt meiner Meinung nach eines der großen Versprechen der zeitgenössischen, katalanischen Prosa dar.” – Zeitschrift für literarische Studien und vergleichende Literatur L'Ull crític, Nr. 15-16.
"Ciò che l’autrice ci presenta in questo libro è uno spaccato di vita reale, grazie al fine cesello della sua scrittura. In quest’opera c’è un grande lavoro per quanto riguarda il linguaggio e lo stile. Il romanzo è interessantissimo e rappresenta, dal mio punto di vista, una delle maggiori promesse della narrativa contemporanea della letteratura catalana". (Recensione del romanzo nella versione in catalano)

Sinossi: Gabriele è un’attrice che, ormai prossima alla fine della carriera, torna nella città in cui ha trascorso l’adolescenza. La sua visita inattesa coglie alla sprovvista due delle sue amiche, che la considerano una sorta di fuga da una quotidianità grigia e monotona. Grazie a loro, l’attrice può intuire a sua volta la vita che avrebbe potuto vivere. D’altro canto, la fama è gravata su di lei per quarant’anni e solo una cosa sembra evidente: questo viaggio risveglia vecchie passioni e cambia la vita di tutte le persone cui fa visita.

Sui personaggi femminili del romanzo:

Gabriele ha sessantadue anni, è stata sposata due volte ed è bisessuale.

Marianne è più anziana e a malapena ricorda l’attrice. Marianne soffre di Alzheimer. In questo libro viene ritratta con un ruolo passive. La vita che la circonda ormai è più importante della sua.

Silvia è una casalinga che da anni sente la monotonia del matrimonio. Qualche anno prima aveva detto a sua figlia che avrebbe potuto badare per un po’ ai nipotini, ma ora se ne deve prendere cura ogni giorno.
Sinopse: Gabriele é uma atriz que, quando sua carreira chega ao fim, empreende uma viagem à cidade onde passou a adolescência. Sua repentina visita pega duas de suas amigas desprevenidas, que veem nela uma válvula de escape para aqueles dias mais cinzas e monótonos. Também a atriz poderia intuir através delas a vida que tinha tido. Em troca, o peso da fama a persegue há quarenta anos e somente uma coisa parece evidente: esta viagem desperta velhas paixões e altera as vidas de todos aqueles que ela visita.

“O que a Núria Añó nos apresenta no seu libro é um pedaço de vida real, dissecado com o fino bisturi de sua escrita. Há na obra um grande trabalho feito sobre a linguagem e sobre o estilo. O romance não é fácil, nem pela temática nem pelo estilo, mas é muito interessante e constitui, ao meu ver, uma das grandes promessas da narrativa catalã contemporânea” -revista L'Ull crític, 15-16.
Gabriele est une actrice qui, à la fin de sa carrière, entreprend un voyage dans la ville où elle a passé son adolescence. Sa visite soudaine prend au dépourvu deux de ses amies, qui voient en elle une manière d'échapper à leurs journées grises et monotones. L'actrice pourra deviner, à travers elles, la vie qu'elle aurait pu avoir. Le poids de la célébrité la poursuit depuis quarante ans et une seule chose semble évidente : ce voyage réveille de vieilles passions et modifie les vies de tous ceux à qui elle rend visite.

"Ce que Núria Añó nous présente dans son livre, c'est un morceau de vie réelle, disséqué au fin bistouri de son écriture. Il y a dans son œuvre un grand travail sur le langage et le style. Ce n'est pas un roman facile, ni par son sujet, ni par son style, mais il revêt un grand intérêt et représente, selon moi, l'une des grandes promesses en matière de roman catalan contemporain"- Dr. Àngels Santa, revue L'Ull crític, 15-16.
